Johnny Depp Once Admitted Feeling Unattractive In Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s Presence. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are some of the most gorgeous people in Hollywood and were the hottest couples. Many would feel insecure about themselves when around, but nobody would guess Johnny Depp would feel bad about himself while hanging out with Pitt and Jolie. The Pirates of the Caribbean star once admitted feeling unattractive in their presence. Keep scrolling for more.
Jolie and Depp featured together in the movie The Tourist in 2010. The film was met with negative reviews upon its release. It also featured Marvel star Paul Bettany in it. The movie was a remake of the French film Anthony Zimmer, and the story revolved around a British woman, Elise, who is being followed by French Police working under the direction of Inspector John Acheson of Scotland Yard. They are looking for Elise’s lover,...

Biopic based on the life of Jacques Cousteau.
The 64th San Sebastian Festival (Sept 14-24) is to close with the world premiere of The Odyssey, a film based on the life of Jacques Cousteau, written and directed by Jérôme Salle.
The €35m film looks at the challenging relationship between the underwater exploration pioneer and his son Philippe. The screenplay is based on the books Mon père, le Commandant Jacques-Yves Cousteau, by Jean Michel Cousteau, and Capitaine de la Calypso, by Albert Falco.
Salle is perhaps best known for writing action romance The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, and directing both Cannes 2013 closer Zulu and César-nominated Anthony Zimmer, which starred Sophie Marceau.
The Odyssey stars Lambert Wilson, Pierre Niney and Audrey Tautou in the parts of Cousteau, his son Philippe and his wife, respectively.
Wilson’s, known for performances in Xabier Beauvois’ Of Gods and Men and André Téchiné’s Rendez-vous, will make his...

To the outsider, the Cannes Film Festival can be a nebulous thing. Even if you know the filmmaker or the cast, sometimes you need more context than a review to give you a sort of firmer grasp of the shape, texture and tone of a movie. Clips from the festival are landing left and right, so we thought we'd grab a smattering and ground you a little deeper than some of the reviews and pictures your may or may not have seen. So here we go. The first clip is a featurette from "Zulu," the official Closing Film of Cannes this year, that brings together some interesting talent for what seems to be a hard-boiled crime tale. Directed by Jérôme Salle ("Largo Winch" and "Anthony Zimmer," which was later remade as "The Tourist" with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie) "Zulu" stars Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker as a couple of...

A thriller set in Cape Town starring Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom is set to close the 66th edition of Cannes Film Festival (May 15 to 26)
Confusingly titled Zulu (the same as the 1964 historical war film depicting the Battle of Rorke's Drift with Michael Caine) it has been adapted from South African writer Caryl Férey's novel of the same name and unfolds in a post-aparheid South Africa.
Whitaker and Bloom play two police officers investigating the murder of a former rugby captain's daughter.
It is directed by French filmmaker and screenwriter Jérôme Salle who made The Burma Conspiracy, the thriller Anthony Zimmer, and the comic strip extravaganza Largo Winch and currently is working on The Odyssey, a feature about marine conservationist and cineaste Jacques Cousteau.
Whitaker won best actor award at Cannes in 1988 for his performance in Clint Eastwood’s Charlie Parker biopic Bird.

We're almost a month away from the start of the 66th Cannes Film Festival, meaning the official selection is going to be announced soon. In advance of that announcement, they've revealed the film chosen to close the festival on May 26th - Zulu, starring Forest Whitaker and Orlando Bloom, directed by Jérôme Salle (seen above). It's well known that closing night films are usually the more weaker fare, but this sounds interesting nonetheless. Cannes also released a first look photo (seen below) of Bloom and Whitaker along with details on the film playing at the festival this May. Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby will kick things off May 15th. Zulu, co-written and directed by Jérôme Salle (of Anthony Zimmer, The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch, The Burma Conspiracy) adapted from the novel of the same name by Caryl Férey, is a thriller shot entirely on location in South Africa.

Orlando Bloom hasn’t exactly had the best time of it at the multiplex in recent years. After his successful run in the Lotr and Pirates franchises ended, he’s had a few decent films, but nothing that stood out. So he’ll likely be hoping for better things with Jerome Salle’s Zulu, which finds him teaming up with Djimon Hounsou.Salle, who directed Anthony Zimmer (which was badly remade as The Tourist) and The Burma Conspiracy, has worked with regular co-writer Julien Rappeneau to adapt Caryl Ferey’s novel, set in post-Apartheid South Africa.Bloom and Hounsou will play a pair of South African coppers who investigate crimes including the murder of 18-year-old Nicole Wiese, the daughter of a championship Springbok rugby team player. Suffice to say, things just get darker from there.Zulu is set to start filming in Cape Town this July. Bloom, who was last seen in The Three Musketeers,...

Did anyone else just kind of forget about Orlando Bloom? Personally, it wasn’t until revisiting the Lord of the Rings trilogy last month when I remembered that, believe it or not, this guy sort of led three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven, to only name the bigger ones. Although he might not be up to snuff with some of his generation’s best, there was a time when the guy had both a bright future and the talent to carry him there.
Whatever happens next, ScreenDaily brings news of something that at least holds a little bit of promise. (Sorry, those of you expecting updates on a 3Dsketeers sequel.) As they report, Bloom and Djimon Honsou — another guy who hasn’t been living up to early promise, either — will star for French helmer Jérôme Salle in Zulu, a thriller based on Caryl Férey‘s novel.

Anthony Zimmer
Starring Sophie Marceau, Yvan Attal
Directed by Jerome Salle
Rated Nr
Anthony Zimmer was the film that served as the basis for The Tourist. And I'll admit, that was the main reason I wanted to see it. The Tourist was awful (see our review here), so I had to see the film it was based on. While I could list off the differences and why Anthony Zimmer was better than The Tourist, I'm going to review just Anthony Zimmer after saying just one thing; Anthony Zimmer is a far superior film to The Tourist.
The film opens to the authorities discussing the elusive Anthony Zimmer. They paint him as a clever genius, addicted not to money, but to the risk it brings. And while they want to bring him in, they mention that there are some Russians that he angered and want him dead. To complicate their task,...

Academy award winner writer/director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) takes the helm of the suspenseful drama The Tourist as it sails through from a cafe in Paris to the canals of Venice. Joined by seasoned writers Christopher McQuarrie (Valkyrie, The Usual Suspects) and Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park, Vanity Fair), Donnersmarck would at first glance appear to be making an homage to Stanley Donen's classic espionage thriller Charade, which starred Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. However, The Tourist is actually a remake of French writer/director Jerome Salle's 2005 crime thriller Anthony Zimmer, which starred French film star Sophie Marceau.
The Tourist centers around Frank (Johnny Depp), a math teacher from Wisconsin who is traveling through Europe. What appears to be a chance encounter on a train with a mysterious beautiful woman is actually no mistake. Elise (Angelina Jolie) deliberately picks him out to throw police off...

Angelina Jolie. Johnny Depp. Venice. I just had a feeling that this movie would be fun. And fun it was. Oh there are plenty who will differ, and after reading some of the reviews floating around online, it seems disagree they do. And it is true, this movie will probably not win any Oscars, except for maybe cinematography. Haven't seen the original, but The Tourist is actually a remake of a French thriller starring Sophie Marceau and called 'Anthony Zimmer'. But you probably knew that because it seems all movies are remakes now anyway. It is overflowing with cliches, to the point that the plot is more predictable than a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Will Elmer Fudd finally get that pesky wabbit? Doubtful.

Chicago – Though you probably don’t know his name, Christopher McQuarrie’s involvement might sell you on paying to see “The Tourist” even more than “A”-list stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. After all, McQuarrie is the writer behind 1995’s Oscar-winning magnum opus by the name of “The Usual Suspects”.
Rating: 1.5/5.0
While these two films both embarked on the pursuit of conning you into one belief and then twisting you into another, “The Usual Suspects” masterfully succeeds in every fiber of its being while “The Tourist” can’t even play ball in the same league. And to even consider “The Tourist” as Hitchcockian would be a crime of blockbuster proportions bestowed upon the true man of mystery.
Though McQuarrie’s words might be found somewhere in this Angelina Jolie model fest, the ink from its two other writers (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Julian Fellowes) clearly snuffs away McQuarrie’s natural skill.

Yahoo! Movies! has premiered the first trailer from the upcoming action-adventure drama The Tourist, which will open in theaters nationwide on December 10. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie star in this film about a world traveler who gets caught up in an international mystery. The last time we posted about this film is when Columbia released the first image back in June.
The film is a remake of a French movie called Anthony Zimmer, which starred Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal. I haven’t seen the French film, but can’t wait to see this movie; not just because of the stars, but also the backdrop of Italy and the premise sounds pretty cool.
The film revolves around Frank (Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise (Jolie) is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path in order to mislead all those following her former lover.

Synopsis: The Tourist centers on Frank (Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise (Jolie) is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.
The Tourist is a remake of Jérôme Salle’s 2005 thriller Anthony Zimmer, and has been in development hell for a number of years now, having gone through several director and cast changes.

The National Organization for Women should send Angelina Jolie a nice cheese basket (or vice versa).
The world's most famous actress-humanitarian might not have single-handedly erased gender inequality in the movie industry, but she sure has struck a major blow for actresses. How else to explain her $20 million payout for Sony's next big summer release, "Salt," an action project that originally was written to star a man -- no less than Tom Cruise?
"It's definitely unusual that a female has become an action star," "Salt" producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura says. "But it's a funny thing. She's not a female action star; she's an action star. She's really the first female to transcend gender. I don't think it's occurred before."
To di Bonaventura's point, a star must be in some rarefied atmosphere when a one-hander lead role in a huge studio action tentpole is rewritten from male to female. It's akin...

Johnny Depp and Anjelina Jolie are finally hitting the big screen together in "The Tourist," a thriller that recently finished filming in Venice. Based on the 2005 film "Anthony Zimmer," "The Tourist" is about a woman (Jolie) who is an Interpol agent trying to locate a criminal. The only problem is that this criminal is someone she used to be involved with. Depp plays an American tourist who is unknowingly being used as a ploy to help Jolie reach her goal.

It's not much to go on, but this first still from The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, is remarkable simply for the fact that it exists. There were so many recastings and director changes that I'm vaguely impressed by the fact that this remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer is actually rolling. To recap: this was to star Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, then Sam Worthington replaced Cruise before Johnny Depp replaced Worthington. Theron stepped out and Jolie stepped in. Meanwhile, Bharat Nalluri was going to direct, then von Donnersmarck came on, then he walked, Alfonso Cuarón was briefly courted as director, then von Donnersmarck came back. Whew. What's the movie about? Spies, basically. Or, as The Sun (source of this photo) says, Depp is "Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy after experiencing heartache in his personal life.

You kinda expect a tad more from the first ever official pic from Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s action-thriller “The Tourist”, but apparently you would be expecting too much. Here’s the first pic (via Total Film) that has the two leads doing, you know, tourist-y stuff. I suppose that make sense, given the title of the movie. Right? Based on the French film “Anthony Zimmer”, the American remake Revolves around Frank (Johnny Depp), an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. There he meets Elise (Angelina Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path in order to use him to catch a notorious criminal with whom she has a past.

The last time we saw anything from Floian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s remake of the French thriller Anthony Zimmer, now renamed The Tourist, was the paparazzi pic of Angelina Jolie taking tea outside a cafe, and the twin stars of Jolie and Depp are sure to draw crowds from far and wide.
Now we’ve for a better look at the two in the first official production still to find its way online. I’ve not seen any of the director’s previous work, but I am looking forward to how writers Julian Fellows and Christoper McQuarrie have adapted the source material.
Here’s the pic, looks very (Ve)nice, doesn’t it?

New on-set pictures from "The Tourist" have surfaced. Taken from the production on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy on late Monday, April 12, the photos show Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie on a Motoscafo boat.
Wearing a blue shirt paired with matching black pants, the lead actor was handcuffed. Meanwhile, Jolie who wrapped herself up in a black jacket during the night shooting was spotted standing behind the steer of the boat.
Depp and Jolie have been filming "The Tourist" for more than a month. On March 17, the production in Venice was wrapped earlier because there were too many fans gathering around the location. Beside set in Italy, the film has also been shot in Paris, France.

The collaboration of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp has drawn great attention from their fans. On Wednesday, March 17, the shooting for their film "The Tourist" in Venice, Italy was shut down because too many people showed up to get pictures of the stars.
According to TMZ, the "fandemonium was too overwhelming for security", so the production was wrapped earlier for the sake of everyone's safety. In some pictures taken from the location, Jolie and Depp were seen stepping out from a boat and waving to their fans before leaving the set.

According to TMZ, the "fandemonium was too overwhelming for security", so the production was wrapped earlier for the sake of everyone's safety. In some pictures taken from the location, Jolie and Depp were seen stepping out from a boat and waving to their fans before leaving the set.

Filming on the Venice, Italy set of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp's new movie The Tourist ground to a halt on Wednesday after hordes of fans turned up eager to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood superstars at work.
The actors began production on the thriller, a remake of 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, in Paris, France in February before moving to Venice earlier this month to continue shooting.
But according to TMZ.com, cameras had to stop rolling on Wednesday after huge crowds of devotees showed up at the location, forcing producers to wrap early due to safety concerns.

The Tourist, the romantic thriller starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie that remakes the French film Anthony Zimmer, has been shooting for a while after taking a very long and winding road to set. Now director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) has two new actors to work with: Paul Bettany and Rufus Sewell. We don't know their roles at this point, but this is slowly looking less like an over-cooked studio disaster. [Variety] After the break, Amanda Seyfried and others join the already impressive cast of Albert Nobbs, while Emma Stone could join Steve Carell on screen. The cast of Alfred Nobbs is great already. Glenn Close stars as "a woman who must pass as a man to survive life in 19th century Ireland." It's a role Close already played almost two decades ago on stage in The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs, adapted by Simone Benmussa from...

Paul Bettany and Rufus Sewell have joined Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s “The Tourist”, a remake of the French movie “Anthony Zimmer”. The film finds Jolie playing a hard-charging Interpol agent who uses Depp to capture a notorious criminal who also happens to be her ex-lover. No word on what characters Bettany and Sewell will be playing, but it’s probably a given one of them (or maybe both) will be a bad guy. They have the accents for it, after all. “The Tourist” is currently shooting on location in Venice, Italy.

Delightfully eccentric actor Johnny Depp does not have any romantic interest in Angelina Jolie, in case you were wondering, which Ok! magazine was.
Depp, who is dating Vanessa Paradis, is currently filming the spy thriller, The Tourist, alongside Jolie in Venice, Italy.
“Trust me, kissing Angelina Jolie on camera is the least exciting thing he’ll do all year,” says a source close to Depp. “He likes to do movies that are a lot weirder. Johnny’s dream co-star is someone more along the lines of Helen Mirren.”
Depp plays an American tourist drawn into a “web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.”
The role was originally set for Tom Cruise and Avatar star Sam Worthington, but both pulled out. Jolie replaced Charlize Theron on the project as well.

MTV’s got your first look at Angelina Jolie on the set of her thriller “The Tourist”. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck directs the film, which is based on the French movie “Anthony Zimmer”. The film stars Jolie as an Interpol agent who is using Johnny Depp, playing the titular tourist, to capture a notorious criminal who also happens to be one of her former lovers. The movie is currently shooting on location in Paris, France. In other Jolie news, the actress appears to have officially signed on to play Patricia Cornwell’s female heroine Kay Scarpetta for Fox 2000. But the big news is that, instead of adapting one of Cornwell’s Karpetta books (she’s written 17 so far), the studio has instead hired screenwriter Kerry Williamson to write an original Origins Story for the character. Says Williamson: “There’s almost like this brewing passion in her, and intensity and sexuality...

Remakes of foreign language films are now, and have been for a long while, mainstays of the Hollywood output, and The Tourist, which is a remake of a 2005 thriller Anthony Zimmer about a tourist (see where they came up with the new name?) whose encounter with an Interpol agent put his life in danger, is shooting now.
Pics from the set have found their way online and we’ve collated some of the best below, with Angelina Jolie catching the paparazzi’s eye. She stars alongside Sam Worthington and Johnny Depp in this new film which is only a few days into filming, so you can expect a lot more to surface about this one.

Angelina Jolie's latest film project opposite Johnny Depp is back on track after the director returned to helm "The Tourist" just months after quitting the production. Oscar-winning German moviemaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck was lined up to take charge of the picture, which will see Jolie play an Interpol agent opposite the Hollywood hunk, but walked away late 2009 throwing the project into jeopardy.
But the director, who reportedly cited creative differences with studio bosses for his decision to quit, is now back on board, according to Variety.com. The movie has faced an uncertain future over the last year after a string of stars dropped out - Jolie replaced Charlize Theron and Depp joined after Tom Cruise quit.
The thriller, a remake of 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, is now scheduled to begin shooting spring 2010.

Could this be anything but a big creative mess? As Elisabeth noted back in November, The Tourist is awash in creative differences. It started with Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, then Angelina Jolie and Sam Worthington, then director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and Worthington left as Depp signed on. Now... Variety reports that von Donnersmarck is back at the helm, Depp and Jolie haven't gone anywhere, and unless that itchy creative differences monster rears its ugly head again, the production will start this spring.
This struggling project is the remake of the French film Anthony Zimmer, about a wanted man who changes his face and the mistress who is instructed to get the police off his tail by grabbing a stranger to take the fall.

Will "The Tourist" ever get made? We've heard quite a lot about the project recently, and yet, it doesn't seem to get off the ground. Until now, because Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is back to direct.
German filmmaker Von Donnersmarck ("The Lives of Others") was previously attached to the film a while ago, but he left the project because of creative differences. Variety now reports he's back to direct.
Casting issues plagued the film as well, but Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are now starring in the remake of France's “Anthony Zimmer.” Christopher McQuarrie & Jeffrey Nachmanoff wrote the script.
The film centers on an American tourist (Depp) who faces great danger when a female Interpol agent (Jolie) tricks him into taking out a criminal she once had an affair with. The original film came out in 2005.

The Tourist tells the story of an Interpol agent (Jolie) who uses an American tourist (Depp) to flush out a criminal she once knew intimately.

After wandering around like… well, a tourist lost and thumbing through a battered Berlitz guide trying to find the right phrase to get some help, thriller The Tourist finally has a director back in place in the shape of Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. If the name sounds familiar (and let's face it, it's pretty unforgettable), it's because the German filmmaker, who won acclaim for The Lives Of Others, has previous been attached to the movie, but apparently dropped out due to creative differences.But now he's back, capping - hopefully - a tortured development cycle that has been Tom Cruise, Charlize Theron, Sam Worthington and directors Alfonso Cuaron and Bharat Nalluri all lined up to work on it at one time or another.Originally adapted from the 2005 French release Anthony Zimmer, the movie will now see Depp's tourist lured into a web of intrigue by Interpol agent Angelina Jolie as...

Guess what? Hollywood doesn't own the monopoly for cinematographic adaptations of comic books. In fact, Largo Winch, a French film adapted from a comic book penned by Jean Van Hamme and drawn by Philippe Francq, came out in France in 2008. Now, depending of where you live in Canada (preferably in Quebec?), the film will hit theatres on January 15, 2010.
Synopsis:
Nerio Winch (Miki Manojlovic), a billionaire, is found drowned. His death seems suspect given that he's the founder and the majority shareholder of the W Group, an economic empire. Although the other shareholders haven't got wind of any inheritors designated by Nerio, he has a secret: he has a son, Largo (Tomer Sisley), who was taken from an Eastern European orphanage. However, despite being innocent, Largo is thrown in a jail located in the Amazonian jungle for drug trafficking. Therefore comes this question: do the assassination of Nerio Winch and the...

If you follow the production of films you will soon become aware that many changes often take place on the journey from script to celluloid.
But even by those standards, The Tourist has gone through a surprising number of cast and crew members coming and going.
The latest to arrive through the project's revolving door is Johnny Depp, who is now in talks to play the lead role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Initially, Bharat Nalluri was on board to direct the thriller, with Tom Cruise in the lead. Charlize Theron was set to co-star.
But then Cruise left and Sam Worthington was brought in as a replacement.
After that, Charlize Theron departed and in came Angelina Jolie. Bharat Nalluri dropped out and the studio brought in German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.
Following that, Sam Worthington dropped out and von Donnersmarck moved on. Alfonso Cuaron is now heading for the director's chair.

Although Y tu mamá también was Alfonso Cuaron's breakout film in terms of proving his talent and putting him on Hollywood's radar, it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men that made him an instant favourite among fantasy and sci-fi fans. Of course, Children of Men was released back in 2006, and Cuaron hasn't really done much since then outside of producing. Now this week it looks like his next directorial gig may finally be falling into place, picking up the pieces of a potentially high-profile project that has gone through multiple changes to cast and crew. If all goes according to plan Cuaron will direct The Tourist, a remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, about an American vacationer in France who is unwittingly used as a decoy for a French spy. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) had previously been attached,...

The large round of musical chairs for the The Tourist continues.
Last month we reported that Angelina Jolie replaced Charlize Theron on the American remake of French film Anthony Zimmer and now it seems like Johnny Depp is in talks to replace Australian actor Sam Worthington. The role originally had Tom Cruise slated to star.
Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a “web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) who is attempting to locate a criminal who was once her lover.”
The 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer was directed by Jérôme Salle. It starred the lovely Sophie Marceau and Yvan Attal.
Jolie remains on the project, however, along with Worthington, original director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has left the project. Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron still in talks to replace him.
The Tourist is still on schedule to begin production in February.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: “The Tourist”, a remake of the French thriller “Anthony Zimmer”, has lost its leading man. Oh, and it’s also lost its director. On the bright side? Johnny Depp is currently in negotiations to take over the leading man role, recently snatched up only to be ditched by Aussie “it” boy Sam Worthington. Also departing: director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who was announced as joining the picture less than a month ago. Word is, both are leaving because of the ever-popular excuse, “creative differences”. The Depp role is that of an American tourist in Europe who is drawn into a plot to capture a notorious criminal by a determined Interpol agent to be played by Angelina Jolie. The role was originally Tom Cruise’s, but he bailed and was replaced by Worthington. You gotta wonder where Depp is going to get the...

Just switch out a few key players, and it becomes an entirely different film. We've been reporting on The Tourist, the Hollywood remake of the 2005 French spy thriller Anthony Zimmer, for more than a year now. Originally Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise were attached to star, but both eventually dropped out. As of a few weeks ago, Angelina Jolie was attached to star along with Sam Worthington. However, there's been yet another change, as THR is reporting that Worthington is now off the project, being replaced by Johnny Depp. But best of all, they're saying Alfonso Cuaron (of Y Tu Mamá También) may end up directing. In October, we reported that Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who directed the Oscar winning film The Lives of Others, was being courted by Spyglass Entertainment to direct The Tourist. Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood claims that the producers found him "difficult and demanding" and...
